India’s largest airline IndiGo said on Monday it has placed an order for 500 Airbus A320 Family aircraft, the biggest-ever single aircraft purchase by any airline with Airbus and this eclipses Tata-owned Air India’s record 470 aircraft order set in March.
The record deal looks to further boost IndiGo’s leadership in India, the third largest aviation market, and also fuel expansion in international destinations. Moreover, air travel has rebounded from pandemic-led gloom and the Asian nation is seeing rapid increase in consumer spending and fondness for taking flights.
